Benefits

However, MyGreatLakes cannot lower the interest rates on their loans. However, buyers can switch with another lender to make sure they get a lower interest rate. Locking in a cheaper interest rate can shorten the time it takes to pay off the loan, lower the monthly payments, and lower the total cost. There are a lot of companies on the market right now that can refinance and combine student loans, like MyGreatLakes. The best rates for refinancing right now start at just over 2.5%.
